What could we do to improve?

The program is good, costly though, especially morning care. You should also considering offering a sibling discount.

What do you like about your Stratford YMCA Aquatics experience?

My aquatic coach Nacho is one of the most down‑to‑earth and genuinely caring teachers I’ve ever met. His passion for teaching is unmistakable, and his ability to connect with people makes every lesson feel personal, safe, and encouraging. He is approachable, patient, and truly invested in the growth of each student.
I feel honored to have crossed paths with such a wonderful human being. His guidance didn’t just help me become more comfortable in the water—he inspired me on a deeper level. He planted a seed in me, awakening the possibility of teaching aquatics myself one day. Watching the way he builds trust, confidence, and joy in his students has shown me what compassionate teaching can look like.
The environment he creates is nothing short of transformative. He helps students feel at ease in the water, meeting them exactly where they are and supporting them with kindness and skill. The relationships he builds are authentic and uplifting, and they make the learning experience truly exceptional.
I am deeply grateful for the impact he has had on my journey.

My daughter loves the YMCA after school program! Her best friends at school are Y friends. She was even disappointed to have a snow day because she didn't want to delay her plans with her YMCA friends.

What do you like about your Woodruff Family YMCA School Age Child Care experience?

The teachers (ms. Dawn and ms. Lorna) genuinely care about the student’s wellbeing and safety. They deal compassionately with issues and offer age appropriate guidance. I am always aware of any problems to address or wins to celebrate with my highly sensitive child. I trust them implicitly and am very grateful to have them in my son’s life.

Coach Nacho makes this a great program. He has made a name for the YMCA swim program. He is missed when he is not there on Saturdays.

Since Lisa left Orange Ave, the kids have been a little wild and not well controlled. Better behavior management would help.

What do you like about your Lakewood-Trumbull YMCA Membership experience?

The team members are welcoming. I hadn't gone in a few months but as soon as I entered the front door, Donna, at the front desk, looked up and said "Welcome back, First name removed". How refreshing! She is an asset to the Trumbull Y. She then gave me information that I needed for my husband, and informed me about the introduction the the gym and the various gym options.
When I previously attended, all the class instructors were welcoming and truly cared about us and our goals for each class.
Great facility and a wonderful team!
Kudos to everyone!
